Alpha Galaxy (Clan Wolf-in-Exile)
History
Beginnings
Descended from Alpha Galaxy of the previous united Clan Wolf, Alpha Galaxy is an "Original" - one of the first Clan fighting units, and commanded by ilKhan Nicholas Kerensky during Operation Klondike, the liberation of the Pentagon Worlds.
Alpha Galaxy took part in the liberation of Eden, alongside Clans Smoke Jaguar, Jade Falcon and Hell's Horses.
Alpha Galaxy became the premier Galaxy in Clan Wolf, so highly regarded that even serving in one of its lesser sub-units bestowed honor on a warrior, and service with Alpha increased the chances of a warrior's genes being used in Sibko creation.
Operation Revival
Alpha Galaxy was one of five Galaxies used by Clan Wolf during the invasion of the Inner Sphere. Due to the nature of Clan warfare, Alpha Galaxy only fought as a complete unit three times during Operation Revival - at Tamar and Bessarabia during the Fifth Wave, and on Tukayyid.
Elements of Alpha Galaxy fought in the following engagements during Operation Revival:
Periphery
First Wave
Second Wave

Notes
- Although the Crusader Wolves also have an Alpha Galaxy, they have cast aside the previous rituals and other connections that went with the designation while the Wolves-in-Exile retain them.
- Alpha Galaxy warriors maintain uniform distinctions, wearing a strip of synthetic wolf fur over the left shoulder of their uniforms.
